Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the majority of pilots who hijacked the planes on 9/11 Saudi Arabian? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black for them to cut off Qatar for their actions? Or is it hypocrisy? Weren't the Saudi's just under scrutiny for private citizens funding terrorism?

To 'No Global Warming in Dallas County': Not having temps over 100 is the weather, not the climate! We also haven't had temps at -20 for a long time. It's the average temps each day over time that determines climate. Don't confuse weather with climate. Pay attention to long term patterns.

Pointing to below-100 degree summer days or throwing a snowball on a Senate floor to "disprove" climate change is like pointing to a cheeseburger to "disprove" the existence of starvation.

Dear Mayor Cownie and all braindead liberals: Climate change is God's domain and you can't do anything about it. Stop wasting time and money that's better spent elsewhere!

To "no global warming". The biggest problem with global warming deniers is they think their local weather directly describes the total world. Central US seems to be protected. For now. In other parts of the world there are big changes. I.e. US glaciers, polar ice, coral reefs, marine life behavior.

Thank you Mayor Cownie for a voice of reason on Climate Change. Finally an official who represents me that I actually agree with and can support.
